The findings demonstrate that the perceived flow experience of VR concert attendees, encompassing cognitive absorption, time distortion, and enjoyment, significantly influences positive affects, subjective well-being, and post-behaviors. Moreover, the degree of telepresence moderates the relationship between flow experience and positive affects in the VR concert setting.
